MS-66, not FS

 

66 5FS

My gut was the little flat spot under column 3 would knock it from the designation. I’m hoping I’m wrong because other than that they are some well struck steps.

 

65FS

 

66 fs

 

That's the spot which made me think it missed the 5fs designation (forgot to vote on the steps though ).

I went with 66+ as it looked a bit better than a standard 66.

 

MS66 5FS on this one. I think it's close to not being FS under the third pillar (seems like the most common spot) but it gets there.

 

I voted MS 66 Not FS. IMO there is a separation of the steps under column 3 but for your sake I hope the grader didn't think it was enough to keep it from getting 5 FS.

 

Ms 66 just makes fs

 

I am also at a 66 w/FS. I think the mark on the steps is a planchet defect that didn't strike out. Depending on the in hand look this could be as high as a 67+
Very nice early die state. I like the surfaces.

 

65FS

 

65 5FS
